It is a general term used to describe materials that create barriers to the transmission of electricity, heat, moisture, shock or sound. It is possible to insulate heat, cold, electricity, sound, or radiation with insulation materials. As insulating bodies such as pipes are exposed to corrosion under insulation, moisture or water trapped within them causes corrosion to occur.
The insulation in your home reduces your energy costs by preventing heat flow. The right insulation for your home does more than reduce heating and cooling costs. It also improves your comfort in the home.
Both commercial and residential developments benefit from insulation boards, which are effective thermal insulation products for a variety of applications, such as:
Roofs
Walls
Industrial factory lining
Ceilings
Residential construction underfloor
Insulation systems that are designed and installed correctly offer immediate and long-term benefits. Insulation protects your equipment, system, specially your budget.
Reduces energy costs
Protects from fire
Prevents moisture condensation
Minimises the capacity and size of existing mechanical equipment
Enhances process performance
Reduces emissions of pollutants
Safety and protection of personnel
Acoustical performance: reduces noise levels
Thermal insulation in air conditioning systems is primarily used to reduce heat gain or heat loss from piping. Other factors include preventing the icing of water vapour and condensation on cold surfaces.
